Too Big and Too Small

So I'm not a big fan of pillowcase dresses but that seems to be the easiest thing to make.  So I made one without really measuring just to see if I could do it.  It was too big but Ashlyn loves it and insists on wearing it to chapel.  I'll fight that battle on Wednesday.  I tried to make a Halloween dress also.  I did measurements.  I didn't do them right.  So Chloe's dress is too small.  She insists that Ms. Tubbs will love it.  I guess I have that battle to fight also.

It looks like years separate these two but they are only 13 months apart

On the other hand, my husband--yes my husband---has become quite the purse maker.  Many of you will laugh who read this but he is really good at it.  In fact he has made solo trips to Jo Anns to buy fabric.  He said a lady stopped and said she loved the pattern he chose and where did he get it.  Oh my!  For those that don't know him, he is SO NOT the sewing type of guy.  He is currently working on a big project of making me a purse and I must say it looks really good so far.  I'm a little jealous.
